Chapter 1, Introduction
Xgig Analysis and Control Software
The Xgig Analyzer software is a suite of four programs for controlling hardware capture and
analyzing the data. The first three programs are described in this book. Refer to the Xgig Expert
help system for information on Xgig Expert.
Xgig TraceControl
Xgig TraceControl configures and runs the protocol analyzer to capture data. Using the Xgig
TraceControl, you can set the payload filter and trace size, select the capture and trigger criteria,
and start/stop the capture of data.
Xgig Performance Monitor
Xgig Performance Monitor displays real time performance and error parameters passing through
the analyzer. Use the Xgig Performance Monitor to monitor the performance of each channel and
detect errors. You can vary the update rate to suit your measurement and all meters scale
automatically. Both the instantaneous, average, and maximum rates are plotted on the screen.
Xgig TraceView
Xgig TraceView displays the data captured by the analyzer. Xgig TraceView will either show data
currently in trace memory or open a file containing saved data. Xgig TraceView displays traces,
searches and filters the traces, and extracts portions of the trace. You can export the traces to a
delimited format that can be used by other databases and spreadsheets.
Xgig Expert
Expert is an analysis tool for Fibre Channel, FCP-SCSI, Gigabit Ethernet, FCoE, IP, TCP, iFCP,
FCIP, SAS, SATA, PCIe/NVMe, AHCI, and iSCSI traffic. Xgig Expert automatically identifies
protocol violations and errors within the trace as well as providing a rich set of metrics for
performance and behavioral analysis. Traces from Gigabit Ethernet topology, Fibre Channel
topology (Arbitrated Loop, Public Loop, Switch Fabric, etc.), and SAS/SATA topologies are
supported and automatically analyzed when opened.
